Using SVT-AV1-PSY

While we distribute raw binaries through our GitHub releases, there are a couple of other ways to use SVT-AV1-PSY that may be more convenient if you aren't familiar with the command line and would just like to encode videos:

  • Aviator (Linux): Aviator is designed to be a no-frills, easy-to-use AV1 encoding GUI that any beginner can pick up and immediately understand how to use. It is powered by SVT-AV1-PSY, and is available as a Flatpak on Linux.
  • StaxRip (Windows): StaxRip is a powerful video and audio encoding GUI for intermediate to advanced users. Its AV1 encoding features are enabled by SVT-AV1-PSY, and it is available on Windows
  • Av1ador (Windows): Av1ador is an AV1/HEVC/VP9/H.264 parallel encoder GUI for FFmpeg with preview/comparison while transcoding. Its AV1 encoding features are enabled by SVT-AV1-PSY, and it is available on Windows
  • Handbrake Fork (multi-platform): Handbrake is a popular video encoding GUI that is available across Windows, macOS, and Linux. This fork of Handbrake adds SVT-AV1-PSY support to the application.
  • AUR: SVT-AV1-PSY is available in the AUR on Arch Linux as svt-av1-psy-git.

For more info on getting started with AV1, you can see this blog post on the Codec Wiki. If you'd like to acquire the standalone SvtAv1EncApp binary archives, please see the download buttons below.
